Scaffold Fabrication for Drug Delivery System Using Layered Manufacturing Methods
To fabricate functional shape of drug delivery system (DDS), various processes are used. In
this research, based on layered manufacturing, two different processes of 1) replication and 2)
direct deposition were used to fabricate scaffold type implantable DDS. For replication process,
hot embossing process for fabrication of patterned layers and bonding for construction of three-dimensional shape were used. As a direct deposition process, nano composite deposition system
(NCDS) was used. Various scaffolds were fabricated with different filament size, pore size, and
shape. It is observed that the scaffold type of implantable DDS is more stable than non-porous
DDS through the in vivo test.Mechanical Engineerin
Review of AdS/CFT Integrability, Chapter III.2: Exact world-sheet S-matrix
We review the derivation of the S-matrix for planar N=4 supersymmetric
Yang-Mills theory and type IIB superstring theory on an AdS5xS5 background.
After deriving the S-matrix for the su(2) and su(3) sectors at the one-loop
level based on coordinate Bethe ansatz, we show how su(2|2) symmetry leads to
the exact asymptotic S-matrix up to an overall scalar function. We then briefly
review the spectrum of bound states by relating these states to simple poles of
the S-matrix. Finally, we review the derivation of the asymptotic Bethe
equations, which can be used to determine the asymptotic multiparticle
spectrum.Comment: 20 pages, see also overview article arXiv:1012.3982, v2: references

On supersymmetry breaking in string theory from gauge theory in a throat
We embed the supersymmetry breaking mechanism in N=1 SQCD of hep-th/0602239
in a smooth superstring theory using D-branes in the background R^4 \times
SL(2)_{k=1}/U(1) which smoothly captures the throat region of an intersecting
NS5-brane configuration. A controllable deformation of the supersymmetric
branes gives rise to the mass deformation of the magnetic SQCD theory on the
branes. The consequent instability on the open string worldsheet can be
followed onto a stable non-supersymmetric configuration of D-branes which
realize the metastable vacuum configuration in the field theory. The new brane
configuration is shown to backreact onto the background such as to produce
different boundary conditions for the string fields in the radial direction
compared to the supersymmetric configuration. In the string theory, this is
interpreted to mean that the supersymmetry breaking is explicit rather than
spontaneous.Comment: 29 pages, harvmac, 8 figures; v2 typos corrected, reference adde
Nonrelativistic Factorizable Scattering Theory of Multicomponent Calogero-Sutherland Model
We relate two integrable models in (1+1) dimensions, namely, multicomponent
Calogero-Sutherland model with particles and antiparticles interacting via the
hyperbolic potential and the nonrelativistic factorizable -matrix theory
with -invariance. We find complete solutions of the Yang-Baxter
equations without implementing the crossing symmetry, and one of them is
identified with the scattering amplitudes derived from the Schr\"{o}dinger
equation of the Calogero-Sutherland model. This particular solution is of
interest in that it cannot be obtained as a nonrelativistic limit of any known
relativistic solutions of the -invariant Yang-Baxter equations.Comment: 4 pages, latex(uses Revtex), one figur
Marginal Deformations of Field Theories with AdS_4 Duals
We generate new AdS_4 solutions of D=11 supergravity starting from AdS_4 x
X_7 solutions where X_7 has U(1)^3 isometry. We consider examples where X_7 is
weak G_2, Sasaki-Einstein or tri-Sasakian, corresponding to d=3 SCFTs with
N=1,2 or 3 supersymmetry, respectively, and where the deformed solutions
preserve N=1,2 or 1 supersymmetry, respectively. For the special cases when X_7
is M(3,2), Q(1,1,1) or N(1,1)_I we identify the exactly marginal deformation in
the dual field theory. We also show that the volume of supersymmetric 5-cycles
of N(1,1)_I agrees with the conformal dimension predicted by the baryons of the
dual field theory.Comment: 28 pages, 2 figures; v2. typos correcte
Exo-hydrogenated Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
An extensive first-principles study of fully exo-hydrogenated zigzag (n,0)
and armchair (n,n) single wall carbon nanotubes (CH), polyhedral
molecules including cubane, dodecahedrane, and CH points to
crucial differences in the electronic and atomic structures relevant to
hydrogen storage and device applications. CH's are estimated to be
stable up to the radius of a (8,8) nanotube, with binding energies proportional
to 1/R. Attaching a single hydrogen to any nanotube is always exothermic.
Hydrogenation of zigzag nanotubes is found to be more likely than armchair
nanotubes with similar radius. Our findings may have important implications for
selective functionalization and finding a way of separating similar radius
nanotubes from each other.Comment: 5 pages, 4 postscript figures, Revtex file, To be appear in Physical

Scintillation Counters for the D0 Muon Upgrade
We present the results of an upgrade to the D0 muon system. Scintillating
counters have been added to the existing central D0 muon system to provide
rejection for cosmic ray muons and out-of-time background, and to provide
additional fast timing information for muons in an upgraded Tevatron.
Performance and results from the 1994-1996 Tevatron run are presented.Comment: 30 pages, 25 postscript figure
Measurement of the Branching Fraction for B->eta' K and Search for B->eta'pi+
We report measurements for two-body charmless B decays with an eta' meson in
the final state. Using 11.1X10^6 BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector,
we find BF(B^+ ->eta'K^+)=(79^+12_-11 +-9)x10^-6 and BF(B^0 ->
eta'K^0)=(55^+19_-16 +-8)x10^-6, where the first and second errors are
statistical and systematic, respectively. No signal is observed in the mode B^+
-> eta' pi^+, and we set a 90% confidence level upper limit of BF(B^+->
eta'pi^+) eta'K^+- decays is
investigated and a limit at 90% confidence level of -0.20<Acp<0.32 is obtained.Comment: Submitted to Physics Letters
Ultra violet sensors based on nanostructured ZnO spheres in network of nanowires: a novel approach
The ZnO nanostructures consisting of micro spheres in a network of nano wires were synthesized by direct vapor phase method. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy measurements were carried out to understand the chemical nature of the sample. ZnO nanostructures exhibited band edge luminescence at 383 nm. The nanostructure based ZnO thin films were used to fabricate UV sensors. The photoresponse measurements were carried out and the responsivity was measured to be 50 mA W−1. The rise and decay time measurements were also measured
Evidence of Color Coherence Effects in W+jets Events from ppbar Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV
We report the results of a study of color coherence effects in ppbar
collisions based on data collected by the D0 detector during the 1994-1995 run
of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, at a center of mass energy sqrt(s) = 1.8
TeV. Initial-to-final state color interference effects are studied by examining
particle distribution patterns in events with a W boson and at least one jet.
The data are compared to Monte Carlo simulations with different color coherence
implementations and to an analytic modified-leading-logarithm perturbative
calculation based on the local parton-hadron duality hypothesis.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures. Submitted to Physics Letters
